Northwest Hillsborough County is making some noise and it not baseball or soccer. Sickles, Alonso, Gaither and Steinbrenner have made their cases for playing some good football and ultimately being recognized as some of the top teams for the 2011 season. The four teams combined, have a record of 13-3 after 5 weeks of football with Alonso and Sickles both being undefeated. So who would be the strongest of the 4 teams? Let’s have some fun and rank them just for augment sake.

#1 Sickles 4-0
vs Steinbrenner 10-0 W
vs Alonso 11/11
Tough running attack with a good mixture of the pass. Sound front on both sides of the ball and solid special teams.

#2 Alonso 4-0
vs Gaither 25-14 W
vs Sickles 11/11
Very athletic and deceptively tough. Small group with big goal. Built on speed in the offensive backfield and really good defense.

#3 Steinbrenner 3-1
vs Sickles 0-10 L
vs Gaither 10/7
The Ohio State Buckeyes of the group. They do whatever needs to be done in order to win. May not be pretty, but a win is a win.

#4 Gaither 2-2
vs Alonso 14-25 L
vs Steinbrenner 10/7
Transition stage on offense, but the defense is playing great. Largest margin of victory to opponent is 14.
